Andy, if you have a wad of grease on the keyed part of the spool shaft, that grease will travel down the shaft and gum up inside pinion and slow freespool way down.

I've actually had the best results using dremel on the pinion hole. I found sometimes the keyed part of the pinion has a tiny spec sticking inward, just enough to screw up freespool. Also make sure your yoke is nice and flat. A slightly bent yoke will cause all kinds of headaches

....also echoing what Mike said. The 500 was always a bushing reel and changing to bearing isn't always a walk in the park.

One more thing is check the tabs on the underside of the jack. I've found that if they are not sticking up enough, the pinion will not fully disengage....Also note it is very important to have the correct yoke springs. Also make sure both yoke springs are of equal strength. One stiff spring and one soft spring will make your pinion sit a little off kilter while in freespool.

Thank you Ted, Mike & Sal amongst others.  Now that I have given myself several days to recover from the carpal tunnel and rotor cuff injury caused from assembly and dis-assembly of this little beast so many many times, I will focus on the pinion and, yoke and spindle.  It is really the only place left to cause issues.

Thanks again!

Winner Winner Chicken dinner!  Jack tabs were not at the right angle to allow the pinion to recess far enough.  Once that was corrected no rub and free spool is easily over a 60 seconds.  Thanks again everyone.  I think this gentleman will love his retirement gift from the guys at the office.  Ted, adult beverage is on me!

Hey all,
I found a set of blue JigMaster side plates. They are on the website if anyone is interested.

New batch of plates coming soon.
I have four colors at the moment: Sliver, Black, Cobalt Blue and Ice Blue.
What other colors? I'm going to do the standard Bordeaux Red in the next batch. Purple, too.
What other colors do you all want?

The price will go up a little as I'm including color matched eccentric levers with the kit.

Are the new sideplates going to fit only the new style Tib frames ?
Or will they be available for the old style frames ?

Cool

I don't think Tiburon ever made a new style frame for the JigMaster. So to answer your question, these will only fit the old style frames from Tiburon or Accurate.

These will be on the website momentarily. This is the first batch, the next batches will be arriving in the weeks to come.
